Inside a Lantern Cabin: a bed in a pine-lined gabled room, the stove lit, a woman on the bench by the glass with a mug, the sea at blue hour.

On the north shore, along the boardwalk

Lantern Cabin

A black cabin on four steel legs, with one wall of sea.

Ten cabins stand along the north shore, far enough apart that you will not see your neighbours and close enough that you will see their light. Each is a single gabled room in birch ply and oak. The bed faces the glass. The glass faces west.

There is a black stove, already laid. There is a deck the width of the cabin and a rinse outside for after the sea. At night, from the boat, the row of them is why they are called what they are called.
